How Does It Work?

• Domperidone+Naproxen contains a combination of naproxen and domperidone as active substances.
• Naproxen belongs to a group of medicine that blocks the effect of inflammatory chemicals. So, the symptoms like redness, pain, inflammation, and swelling improve gradually.
• Domperidone is used to control nausea and vomiting. It prevents food from coming back up in the oesophagus (food pipe), which may occur due to stomach irritation caused by naproxen and other painkillers and in migraine attacks.

• Particular care should be taken if you are taking blood thinners (such as warfarin), aspirin or other painkillers of the NSAID group, steroids, blood pressure medicines, water pills (diuretics), lithium, methotrexate, certain antibiotics (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin), certain antifungals (such as ketoconazole) or other medicines that can affect the heart rhythm.
